Sandals Barbados

We had a fantastic time at Sandals Barbados 4/25/26-5/2/26!! The welcome and check in process.....inviting and seamless. Room, very clean, comfy and well stocked and tended to throughout our stay. The resort was beautifully landscaped and an easy layout to navigate. Although one of the main pools was closed, there were still plenty of pool spaces to enjoy, along with a gorgeous beach! Rooftop pool and bar, awesome! From the breakfast buffet to dinner, we had wonderful dining experiences!! And here comes the highlights of our vacation: we visited The Merry Monkey almost every night.....thank you Jack, Ariston, and Dwayne!! Jack.......high energy, humor, and awesome customer service!! He is such a great reflection of a leader, we really enjoyed meeting him and the crew, we had a blast here!! The piano bar..........Zedan (Billy), always fun, energetic and full of laughs!!! Keep doing what you guys are so good at, we will miss all of you! Thank you to all of the Sandals Barbados staff from housekeeping, grounds maintenance, to the restaurants and bars, worth every penny!

In general, we had a lovely trip. Lots of construction, so it was noisy at times. The main pool on Barbados side was closed, but the other pools never seemed overly crowded. Great service at the bars (including people remembering my order) and hiccups with snorkling transportation were managed well by the diving staff, but other cancelled programming (e.g., morning yoga and water aerobics) was never communicated. Jack at the Merry Monkey Pub was a huge addition to the trip--knew people's names and made everyone feel special. With respect to food, everything was generally tasty, with Greenhouse, Chi, and Kimonos being family favourites. Also some excellent gluten free pastries available, though as someone who must eat gluten free, I do wonder if there was an episode of cross contamination, given my symptoms (could have just been my frequent trips to the bar though!)

Beautiful well kept resort food was good workers were all kind and courteous plenty of things to do our biggest complaint was it’s more of a pool resort the ocean was unusable between the seaweed and rough waters and the resort became very crowded not a lot of open space but overall it was a very nice experience

This was our second visit to Barbados and we absolutely loved everything about Sandals - a complete cut above the previous holiday and stay at Sea Breeze. We stayed in a Crystal Lagoon Club Level Luxury Honeymoon Suite with Balcony Tranquility Soaking Tub (code LS) and loved the room and central location. The views from the balcony over the gardens and lazy river pool were stunning and we loved to hear the beautiful birdsong with birds visiting our balcony too. We found the resorts to be interchangeable, easy to navigate and the grounds and all of the facilities were just immaculate. The pools were all great, as was the beach - there was no seaweed when we first arrived at the beginning of the month however started to arrive before we left although this wasn’t a problem. The sea is quite rough at this time of year and all we were able to do was paddle but didn’t let it bother us. We booked the free Sandals snorkelling trip to Carlisle Bay and got to some of the best snorkelling we’ve ever done over the shipwrecks. You did have to be out for 7am to get a prime pool spot but due to the jet lag from the UK we were up and about anyway so just made the most of the early mornings and quietness of the restart. We loved the rooftop pool and hot tub for the amazing views and was particularly pleasant at the end of the day as the sun went down. No better place to be at this time! We had some fantastic food and drink, our favourite restaurants at night were Butch’s and La Parisienne and during the day Neptunes on the beach. We also regularly visited Cafe de Paris which was fantastic for coffee, cakes and snacks. Evening entertainment was quite low key (which we enjoyed) with some regular shows, beach party, piano bar entertainment and also just relaxing at one of the other bar areas on site. There was seriously nothing to complain about - staff were amazing and so helpful and we would go back in a heartbeat but have decided to try and other Sandals resort next year. Personally, we didn’t make use of Club facilities but enjoyed the higher room with the view.

Amazing time amazing staff thank you
